@FP, Stuckey on D, gotta watch it every game. He doesn't commit to help, and he doesn't commit to his man. It's been going on for at least a few weeks. I don't know if it's a coaching issue, or a game plan issue or a Stuckey issue, but it is happening every game.

It is entirely correctable. Most of Stuckey's issues are correctable, which is a positive.

Where's Afflalo? Minutes have been few and far between lately for Arron Afflalo, who has not played (coaches' decision) in four of Detroit's past seven games. In the three games he played in, Afflalo totaled just 14 minutes. Most of Afflalo's playing time has gone to Walter Herrmann.

"It's nothing against Arron Afflalo," Curry said. "I thought when he's called upon, he's stepped in and played well. But when you're looking at your team and you're trying to find ways to continue to be more effective, he (Herrmann) gives us an option of playing alongside Tayshaun (Prince) we don't quite get with Tayshaun and Arron playing."

I don't get it. If AI doesn't go on the trips with the team, then he'll be separated from Kander and there will be nobody to cure his back. AI would be forced to use the traditional medical establishment, which usually doesn't work. This is putting AI at great risk for further decline.

Also, AA + Tay doesn't work as well as Herrmann + Tay???

What about AA + Herrmann then, since he IS Tay's naturally backup. Why can't MC just play guys at their natural positions?

What does that do to AA psyche? Losing your job to Hermann can make anyone depressed.
